It sounds like a bad shift fork, shift drum or worn dogs on the gear itself. Very labor intensive. have remove engine from the frame and split the cases.
the 96 and 97 vulcan classic 4 speed transmission is garbage. Fixed mine 3 times. still no 2nd gear. Shame on you you Kawasaki.
My advice, drive it off a cliff somewhere and then go buy a honda vtx.
Use 10w40 motor oil in the gear box. Don't use any synthetic oils, oil marked "EC", or oil with "special" additives. Stick with the major brands; Pennzoil, Quaker State, Mobil or Shell. If in a hot area like Texas or New Mexico go with 20w50.

to my knowledge there are no grease points on any shaft drive bike,all the universal joints are sealed and should oulast the bike,the only grease i ever put into a final drive assemly is the drive hub which you only do when the rear wheel comes out to replace a tyre,just note..make sure it gets done because if the drive hub wears due to lack of grease in most cases you will have to replace the whole drive assembly because the drive hub is part of the final drive and they are VERY EXPENSIVE..hope this helps
Check with your dealer, but I believe on that enginee, the oil pump has a nylon drive gear. THis gear has been shreding on that modle from 1988 to 1999. It Happed to me. I called customer service at Kawasaki, and after some haggling, they assumed all the costs to fix the bike.I have a 1997 1500 A modle Vulcan.
Good Luck
